The transdermal patch exhibited promising antimicrobial properties, with the ability to release curcumin in a sustained manner, ensuring prolonged contact with the skin surface. Additionally, the patch demonstrated reduced irritation and good skin adhesion properties, making it a viable option for topical antimicrobial therapy. The results suggest that curcumin-loaded herbal transdermal patches can be a potential alternative for treating skin infections, providing a more localized and effective treatment compared to conventional oral or topical antibiotics. Herbal remedies, particularly those derived from plant-based compounds, offer a promising solution to combat microbial infections with minimal side effects. This study focuses on the formulation and evolution of a herbal antimicrobial transdermal patch utilizing curcumin, the active compound found in Curcuma longa. Curcumin is known for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, making it an ideal candidate for transdermal delivery systems.
